    Rodgers MVP Watch

    Jason Wilde stumbled into tabulating MVP votes on Twitter and out of 50 voters, he has eleven reporting.

    There's 11th vote for Rodgers. Thanks, Kent. @MaddieWilde, @Sydney_Wilde say "Hi." RT @kentsomers: Rodgers

    So far, no reported votes for anyone else.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

      And one fantastic story about the 3rd Favre MVP:

      Whoa. RT @davegoldberg84: Favre would've lost to Sanders when they tied in '97 if vote came after final game. We changed the next yr.

          Nothing like a bit of peer pressure to get the other 39 votes. Things are looking good!

              Someone asked that and according to Wilde, no he does not. I suspect one other Rodgers vote would be Mike Silver from Yahoo! He has got to back his fellow Cal alum.

                I think A-Rod wins it going away. He has the stats and was off only one Sunday (with several drops by the receivers to boot). Doing it while being hit and sacked 36 times is incredible. One of the greatest seasons ever.

                  It is really an odd season.

                  Most ex-QB commentators have been blown away by the ease with which Rodgers performed. I keep recalling Aikman saying several times, "It really is not as easy as Rodgers makes it look."

                  On the other hand, padding or not, Brees had an amazing statistical year. New all time records for yards and completion percentage, leadership and near record in TD throws. He crushed the yardage record.

                  My gut (and heart) says Rodgers, and I can generate a list of reasons. Brees' backers can do the same for him, and it is hard to argue against their list. I have to fall back on those who should know best, the ex-NFL QBs; and most that I have heard seem to back Rodgers.

                    our man flynn making a mockery of the Packers record books may make some voters pause.

                      One guy said he was switching his vote based on that, but there is no confirmation nor has anyone else come forward to say it did, finally, change their vote. In fact two people who considered the possibility that it might change votes (King and Collingsworth) voted for ARod.

                        I don't think it's that close really. Both had great years. Historically significant, but Rodgers was clearly better. Three facts make it clear that Rodgers is the choice: 1) his team was better, 2) his team beat Brees' team head-to-head, and 3) his stats were better. When you look closer, Rodgers' numbers are better. Brees had him in completion %, but Rodgers had him by more in YPA. He also had him in TD % and easily beat him in interception %.

                        The only argument one could make is Rodgers had a better supporting cast, but that's debatable. New Orleans has a better OL, better RBs, and plenty of weapons--although I'd take Green Bay's receivers. Colston, Graham, Sproles, Meachem, Henderson, and Moore are pretty darn good also.

                          Yep. Why vote for Rodgers when the equipment guy could come in an throw for 4 TDs too? Of course, the more likely possibility is that Flynn is better than all but a handful of current starters.

                            That's a good summary of the conundrum. It's close to an impossible choice, but part of the equation - even though it technically shouldn't be considered - is going to be Rodger's run through last year's post season.

                            I personally look at the interception number and just marvel at it. Rodgers has the iron will/accuracy to not make the risky/bad throw that gets picked.

                              Danny O'Neil and another unnamed Twitterer both voting for Rodgers. By my count, that is 14. Wilde has it at 15. One other to be revealed Sunday in article. No votes reported to him yet for anyone other than Rodgers.
